Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 734 Moving Back

"Were those beams of light that shot into the sky just now coming from this direction?"

"Indeed, such a massive disturbance; I've lived for millions of years and never heard of anything like it."

"For a moment, I almost thought it was the arrival of the next catastrophe, ready to destroy the world."

"Terrifying beyond measure!"

"Such a great commotion must mean an Exotic Treasure has appeared; quickly, search carefully!"

"No need to search, it's right here..."

The previously scattered discussions suddenly stopped entirely.

All that remained was heavy breathing.

Finally, after a long while, someone broke the silence.

"Is this... the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal?"

"It seems... yes, yes it is, right?" someone swallowed and stutteringly replied.

"A mountain made of Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal?"

"How is that possible? Could it be a mistake?"

No wonder they reacted so strongly.

Celestial Crystals are known for their stability, toughness, and strong isolation effects.

These attributes are almost tailor-made for withstanding attacks.

Five-Colored Celestial Crystal can already be used to forge Tier Seven Immortal Armor; it's truly priceless.

And Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal is an indispensable material for crafting Tier Nine Immortal Armor, advancing into the realm of Ultimate Level Immortal Treasures.

Describing it as a top-notch marvel is no exaggeration.

A single piece of Tier Nine Immortal Armor usually requires only a small piece the size of a pigeon egg.

Yet it is this small piece of Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal that has stumped countless Quasi-Emperors.

For no other reason than its extreme rarity.

It's said to be a Supreme Treasure of Heaven and Earth left behind from the early days of the Immortal Realm, and once a piece is used, it's gone.

Whenever a new Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal appears, it inevitably triggers endless battles and bloody conflict.

And now, before their eyes, was a mountain made of Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal.

This mountain, though not vast, covered an area of more than ten miles in circumference.

If all these Nine-Colored Celestial Crystals were released, the landscape of the Immortal Realm would be transformed once again.

Whether it be the massive wars that erupt because of it, or the influence it has once crafted into numerous Tier Nine Immortal Armors, both make one's heart race wildly.

The first to discover this was a Small Sect on the western border of the Spirit Realm's Changhan Island—Snow Spirit Sect.

The Spirit Realm is virtually a hub for all kinds of strange and bizarre creatures.

For instance, the Bone Race, Artifact Race, Water Spirit Race from the Lower Realm; they are not human, some don't even have human-like physical forms.

Yet, they all cultivate Immortal Power and follow the Rules of the Immortal Realm.

The disciples of the Snow Spirit Sect all possess bodies of snow spirits, looking from afar like exquisitely carved snowmen.

Even when shattered, no trace of blood or skeleton can be seen.

The Sect Master of the Snow Spirit Sect, Han Rong, at the Immortal King Ninth Layer, was presently staring dumbfounded at the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain before him.

He felt more suspicion and shock than joy.

Such a large pile of Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal, no matter how one thought about it, seemed wrong.

"It must be a mistake!"

Suddenly, he raised the Tier Seven Immortal Blade in his hand, releasing Immortal Power from his body.

His originally snow-white form rapidly shifted to a bright red.

At the same time, he brought down his Immortal Blade heavily upon the Immortal Crystal Mountain before him.

Boom!

A vast field of hexagonal snowflakes spread out, and with the blessing of the Snow Rule, this strike had immense destructive power.

Yet before he could check the results, he was sent flying backwards.

While still in mid-air, the Tier Seven Immortal Blade in his hand shattered.

Simultaneously, both his arms hung limply at his sides.

He was injured by the shock.

Not only that, but his Immortal Artifact was also destroyed in that single strike.

The whole area fell silent once more.

All the disciples watched in a daze as their Sect Leader rolled over and over across the ground, appearing completely unbefitting of his usually powerful and majestic image.

However, Han Rong paid no attention to this.

Once he finally stabilized himself, his slightly altered voice sounded like someone had whipped him, charged with unrestrained urgency.

"It's real!"

"It's truly the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal!"

As the head of the sect, he utilized the remnants of his professional instinct to issue a series of commands.

"Quickly! Move this Celestial Crystal back!"

"Seal off the information!"

"From today onwards, no one from the Snow Spirit Sect is allowed to leave!"

The dozen or so elders of the Snow Spirit Sect present didn't need his reminders to know what to do.

Such a Supreme Treasure, if word got out, there was no chance the Snow Spirit Sect could keep it.

So in the next moment, they quickly sprang into action.

Though the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain was indeed heavy, as Immortal Kings, altering the landscape was a piece of cake.

For them, transporting it back was not difficult.

Soon, the Treasure Mountain that sealed Sect Leader Jiang was lifted by them from the outside.

Then, they hummed and heaved it all the way back to the Snow Spirit Sect.

Positioned on the outskirts of a snow-covered frozen Great Array, they set up a series of Illusion Arrays to obscure perception, ultimately hiding the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain in the rear of the Snow Spirit Sect.

By this point, the busy Sect Leader and elders finally began to calm down.

Gazing toward the spot veiled by the Great Array, everyone still found it incredibly incredulous.

"Have we... truly acquired a mountain made of Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal?"

The Great Elder, Han Zhuo, took a deep breath, yet couldn't conceal the excitement in his trembling voice. "Yes, we've acquired it..."

The elders were overjoyed, chattering as though they had hit the jackpot.

"How could there be such a large mountain of Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal in this world?"

"Utterly inconceivable."

"Is this a gift from the heavens to our Snow Spirit Sect?"

"If it hadn't appeared on Changhan Island, it wouldn't have been our turn to seize it!"

Sect Leader Han Rong nodded, his voice grave, "Indeed, had it landed anywhere else, it would have nothing to do with our Snow Spirit Sect."

He was quite grounded in his self-awareness.

An Immortal King certainly counts as a strong figure in the Immortal Realm.

But above them are the Quasi-Emperors and Immortal Emperors.

Compared to those more powerful forces, the Snow Spirit Sect is insignificant.

"Continue to lock down the information, under no circumstances let the news leak out!"

Han Zhuo and the other elders nodded emphatically.

"We understand!"

Should the news leak, and stronger sects get wind of it, the Snow Spirit Sect wouldn't receive bountiful returns but instead would face the calamity of destruction.

An elder couldn't help but ask, "Then what should we do with this Celestial Treasure, create Tier Nine Immortal Armor?"

The thought of every single Immortal Venerable and Immortal King present owning Tier Nine Immortal Armor made many elders' eyes turn green with excitement.

"If we possessed Tier Nine Immortal Armor, our power would increase multiple times over!"

However, in the next moment, Han Rong let out a cold laugh.

"Craft Tier Nine Immortal Armor? Are you dreaming?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"To cut even a small piece of Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal would take years upon years—even for a late-stage Quasi-Emperor, we can't budge it a millimeter."

As Sect Leader, he remained practical.

"Besides, among all of us here, whose artifact refining level has reached that standard?"
